Update/240lookis' 1990 Hatch Project

[240lookis]

i might.

but there was a dent in one of the wheels when i got it, and a bunch of the bronze chipped off because of it.

black chrome lip

Yeah bro.

[ViolentRunning13]

Blue.

[240lookis]

you want me to bling my 2 inch lip?

f*** that. these wheels are weak. you know that.

[T1ghtJDMDRIFT]

Can I get a whaaa burger with extra facetious sauce?

Just paint them glitter red already. Trust me it will look stellar.

[ViolentRunning13]

Cover your wheels in that nonsense you have in your interior.

[Idahos13]

I would just worry about painting the car first then decide on the color of wheels but I think white with bronze rims would be awesome, I might do it when I get enough moneys for some decent rims. So when do you plan on painting it?

[240lookis]

when the weather pops back up.

it was in the 80s all last week. should've done it then.

[Idahos13]

Have you already sanded the car down? and prepped?

[240lookis]

started sanding today today.

i realized that if i want a good white, im gonna have to sand down a lot and do good prep. another red would be much easier.

im really just pissed off at this steering rack. one of the lines wont screw in.

[Idahos13]

Go to the junk yard and try to get a new steering rack.And I think white would look really good on your car. But then again Red also looks great! just do good prep the person who painted my 240 did not prep very well in some spots so the paint has chipped off in the door jams in the bottom corner, but they did good painting it.

Which line? I recently had a wrestling match with the high pressure line going to the hardline from the rack, it was a b****.

[240lookis]

going to the dominican republic for a month.

see you then.

peace.

[justinedible4]

any updates?

[nightsauce]

damn, i missed a lot in this thread. Your 240 has come a long way. good stuff

[240lookis]

sooooo

havent done much on the car this summer. was gone for a lot and kicked it the rest of the time.

here's how it looks as of today (dirty)



unfortunately...engine is dead. it doesnt fire up and the transmission broke before that. not even sure what it is, but i dont really give a s***.

i will be getting this shortly

then drifting the s*** out of it before college.

[noobdrftr]

sucks your motor and transmission died...i love your rims though cant wait to see your car up and running again

[240lookis]

ya, it makes sense though. 214k miles and driven hard most of those.

i really want some 215/45s

[2zz]

what?!? you're getting a new motor? what is it?

and how the hell do you afford all this stuff haha. i'm almost dead broke from the repairs I've been doing.

anyway, maybe it's an electrical issue with your motor... just cause it doesn't fire up, doesn't mean its dead

[240lookis]

the transmission gears are f***ED.

[2zz]

the transmission gears are f***ED.

so... that new motor... what is it?

[tEknoS13]

You totally fail at reading.

He's getting a SOHC KA, the one on the pic

[fourLUG_hero]

That's a really clean SOCK, lookis.

KA drift. Legit.

[240lookis]

a couple things.

i plan on picking this up soon: socketed ecu and ss27sf512 eprom with the stage 3 na tune developed by deviouska. supposedly adds 7 hp.

after adding the 25mm spacers up front, there's too much poke and although i cant drive my car, i know that s*** will rub.

so i got some 205/45. should be mounted tomorrow. (those are the 235/40 with no tread)

i have also run into a road block. im trying to figure out where to do my swap, considering i will absolutely not do it in front of my house in the street.

oh ya. i also ate s*** on my bike a while ago. i was rippin it up until this happened:

that's whats goin on with the car.hopefully ill pick up a welded diff soon as well.

this is a sweet thread, keep it up!

[mRodiek]

Looks like youve got a good thing goin, keep it up.P.S. I love the Hanabis, I was thinkin about getting some for my hatch.

[Ramonesfreak2010]

You look badass with your face like that. Looks like a zombie look/two face tattoo.

[240lookis]

thats what i thought. girls didnt see the badass factor. they just thought it was super nasty.

my shoulder was more f***ed than my face too.

[Ramonesfreak2010]

Should have told them that you got in a fight with a lion and killed that b**** with your bare hands.

Pics of the shoulder?

[240lookis]

This is after getting it cleaned with a hard rubber brush and alcohol. I was riding without a shirt at the time.
